my baby is growing up

Free at last ...

Free at last ...

Thank God, Almighty!

I am free at last!

Notice the duct tape holding the frame of the crib together? We really get our use out of furniture around here. I had been hoping we'd be using this particular piece of furniture until Henry was three, but he's made it abundantly clear he's ready to move on.

Once he showed me his escape maneuver, I put him back in his crib. But when I went to check on the boys a short while later, I found that he had climbed out again - and was now tucked in to bed - and sleeping soundly with his big brother.

Cute : ) It's so funny seeing how kids manage to climb out, that you caught it with the camera : )

When Ella and Zoe did that Tom and I bought crib tents and kept the girls in those until just a week or so ago (which I posted about a few posts back, including pics of our crib climbers). They love their new beds but we're still adjusting to their new freedom : )

That is the cutest darn thing ever that he is in bed with William. Those fourth triplets do everything ahead of schedule. Austin will be driving when he's fourteen, without a license. You watch. He'll be twice as big as Greggers so he'll probably get away with it.

Oh man...I hear you on that one. Just three years ago, we were starting our fertility treatments with little hope that we'd ever have a family. Now...two ornery, exhausting, funny little monkeys that keep me on toes like no other job in the world. I'd love it more if it didn't go so dang fast!!!

My Current Favorite Quote...

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.
